There was a time Lyrics

There was a time

That I was really strong

No one dared to blame

Me for being wrong

Nobody dared to say a word

About how I behaved

Kinship with me was honor

There were no enemies at all

One day, not long time ago

A rumor spread from far away

Our borders're under attack

By a young ambitious prince

Our guards were totally defeated

To the battles that came next

Hard days were dawning

Facing villages on fire

I, the King, should meet the rising threat

And fight against it

I am coming back to the Kingdom

All scared from the fight

Bringing back the memories

Of a wounded pride

Although we're close to winning

To the mother of the battles

When I looked back

I saw my knights

And soldiers run away

Then as my face

Reflected in my sword

I saw a man tired and old

I am coming back to the Kingdom

All scared from the fight

Bringing all the memories

Of a wounded pride

My reputation is now worthless

All my allies are gone

People pretend not to know me

I see my future in exile

I hope the new leader

Will be fair enough

Won't let us the weakest

Suffer as in the past

Someone else will be the knowing

Someone else will be the one

I leave away from the kingdom

With the scars of the fight

I take with me the memories

Of a glorious life
